**Bitcoin** is a software-based payment system[2] described by Satoshi Nakamoto[3] in 2008, and introduced as open-source software[4] in 2009. Payments are recorded in a public ledger[5] using its own unit of account[6], which is also called **bitcoin**. Payments work peer-to-peer[7] without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the US Treasury[8] to call bitcoin a decentralized virtual currency[9]. Although its status as a currency is disputed, media reports often refer to bitcoin as a cryptocurrency[10] or digital currency[11].
